4. Completeness

Completeness should be evaluated against the exact model, workflow, available space, current documentation and replacement-part support. Record the decision rather than relying on memory.

5. Parts support

Parts support should be evaluated against the exact model, workflow, available space, current documentation and replacement-part support. Record the decision rather than relying on memory.
